Short Legs and Sneezes

Sadie sneezes a lot. Most of the time, they are not brought on by anything but annoyance haha. If she gets mad at me, she gets all worked up and starts barking and then sneezing. It's rather amusing. Then when I start laughing at her, she gets more mad and sneezes more hahahaha. It's a good time.

Lately, her sneezes have been pretty powerful! And because she is so close to the ground (short corgi legs!), she tends to slam her nose onto the ground as she is sneezing. It sounds SO painful. Does your corgi do this? It's good when she is on the carpet, but most of our house is hardwood floors, and that just can't be good for her lol. I don't have a video of her sneezing and slamming he nose on the floor, but I have a video of her sneezing when she gets annoyed at me so that will have to suffice for now!



Does your corgi's nose hit the floor when he/she sneezes??

I Wish I Were a Little Bit Taller

Sometimes I don't think Sadie realizes how small she is, like when she barks her head off at giant dogs that could literally eat her if they tried. She thinks she's incredibly tough and can take them. I do not think she can. Or maybe she is just a punk/bully lol.

But other times, I think she realizes she is short and wants to be taller. For instance, one of our neighbors has a stone ledge/wall on one side of their house that progressively steps down in height. You can see it in this picture:

Right now, since nothing has bloomed yet, the wall is pretty bare. Oftentimes, we walk back home passing this wall, and every time we do, Sadie jumps up on the highest part and walks the rest of the way on the wall. It always cracks me up, because she seems to happy and walks all proud when she is up there. Like, "look at me ma, I'm tall!!!" I wish I had pictures of this. But for now you'll just have to imagine it :)

That little girl never ceases to make me smile.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

So it has been rainy and gross (and cold!) here the past few days. The rain is troublesome for several reasons. First of all, Sadie is low to the ground, so even if it isn't currently raining, but the grass is still wet, this means Sadie's entire stomach, chest, and paws are soaking wet after a walk. (She gets soaked every day in the winter when there is snow outside!) We have a towel waiting in the garage for these occasions. Sadie gets a good rubdown before we go back in the house.

The main problem is, Sadie generally refuses to go outside if it is raining, and if she does go out, she refuses to walk on the grass! She is a stinker. If it's really pouring out, she will look outside, look back at me, and run inside again. She's like, nah, I'll hold it! It gets a bit frustrating though if she actually does go outside, but won't walk on the grass (which is the only place she will go to the bathroom). So now not only is she getting soaked, but I am as well! Needless to say, this is what happened this morning. I tried taking her out twice before I left for work, to no avail. Hopefully she will be ok until my aunt gets home to take her out. I am sure she will be. It just gives me something ELSE to worry about all day now haha.

Two Friday pics for everyone...One of Sadie in her Gators raincoat (my alma mater), and one cute corgi butt! Happy Friday! :)
